the most famous is the one in south carolina against newt gingrich saying he had basically supported funding for abortion in china which just wasn't true. mitt romney was able to stand on stage and say i have no idea why that ad's running. there's no reputational cost to him even though it was being put up by restore our future. i wonder not just in the presidential, but on some of these down ballot races, you have the real potential to move local elections or smaller elections with false information like that, um, and there will -- because it's coming from super pacs, less accountability because you can't, it's people for a better tomorrow. it's not my opponent who's saying it. you can't blame it directly on the opponent. there's one step removed. and i wonder if at the end of this race when we look back at the ads that were run in the final few weeks if we don't see some pretty slimy ads coming out of these outside groups. >> but two small things to add to that. one is that tv stations actually can refuse ads that they consider libelous if they're coming from an outside group. they

he didn't have to go to the right newt gingrich and rick perry on immigration to win that nomination. if he had come out and, you know, said that he was for the dream act sort of the way gingrich did, he still would have gone on to win the nomination and now he would be in a position -- >> you think so? >> -- to compete for latino votes, but he's not a skillful enough politician to anticipate that, and all he can do is say whatever is necessary to get him through the day. this comes out of his experience in the business community where, you know, all he did when he went in and closed these deals is say whatever was necessary to close the deal no matter whether it was true or not and then he'd negotiate about it later, you know, after he took over the company. so this is the world he comes out of, and it just does not equip him for politics. here is the other thing that i think has been missed in the last couple days is there's been some, you know, journalism that says, well, okay, he's not equipped for politics but he'd be a good president. no. if you're a bad politician, you're not g
